Out of nowhere, the Epic Games Store announced that the entire Kingdom Hearts series will be coming to PC on March 30, 2021. This appears to be, at least for now, an exclusive deal to EGS. All games are at their original, full retail price, although Kingdom Hearts III comes with ReMind included at no additional cost. KH3 on PC is also getting its own exclusive Keyblade (re-skin), Elemental Encoder. It's unclear if this is a monochrome Keyblade, or they just haven't revealed the color scheme yet. View attachment 50669 In addition to introducing the KH series to a whole new market, this will also open up a lot of possibilities for the modding community. Do you plan on picking any of these up on PC when they arrive next month?
View attachment 50665 Recently, I got my hands on some tools that let me extract movie files directly from the Kingdom Hearts HD Remixes, opening up some new possibilities for older games. Kicking off, I present Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories without subtitles! To my knowledge, a clean rip of the HD version doesn't exist anywhere else on the internet, so that's neat. You can download both parts below: Sora Riku In the coming weeks, we'll also be giving the 358/2 Days and ReCoded movies the same treatment. Those two will also have an alternate download option: no subtitles and no music! Surprisingly, all of Days and most of ReCoded (excluding its old DS scenes) have the music on a separate track, allowing for isolated vocals/SFX. This was made possible through several different tools, but most importantly was the .mself file extractor made by Some1fromthedark. If you are so inclined, you can support them on Patreon. Check out our full Cutscene Archive for scenes from the entire series. See ya soon!
View attachment 50663 Small but very cool update: we now have cutscenes from Melody of Memory without subtitles available for download. This was made possible by a member of the KH modding community, Vladabdf, who was able to rip video files directly from the game. He's currently contributing to OpenKH, a project that aims to expand the community's knowledge of how the Kingdom Hearts games run, and make modding them more streamlined. Check out his Twitter and YouTube. If you have any programming knowledge and an interest in the project, I'm sure they'd appreciate some help. Check out our full Cutscene Archive for scenes from the entire series. Peace!
View attachment 50627 Hey all! Cutscenes from the newly-released Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory are now available for download. As of now, there's no in-game option to remove subtitles, but if a patch releases that allows it (or we get our hands on direct rips), we will update with those as well. Check out our full Cutscene Archive for scenes from the entire series. Enjoy!
Hello and welcome! Glad to have you here. Kairi's great, hope we see a lot more of her in the future :)
Welcome! Hope you're doing good and have escaped the void :P
Hey all, if I've been particularly quiet this month, it's because I've been hard at work on this. I got into modding recently and just released something that may pique your interest. This PC Mod for Dark Souls III lets you look and sound like Kairi, and adds custom Keyblade-like movesets/starting classes. Check out the full trailer below: Naturally, you'll need Dark Souls III on PC to play with the mod. You can download the mod here!
Hey everyone, I've been experimenting with some image upscalers, and was able to convert the KH2 opening sequence into 4k! Aside from doubling the resolution, it also adds clarity by smartly sharpening the image and decreasing video artifacts. It took a solid 15 hours for my computer to process all those frames, so I'm not sure if/when I'll do another of these. Software used was Gigapixel AI from Topaz Labs. Click the image below to see a close-up before/after comparison. View attachment 50523 You can view the full opening here: Or download it here.
View attachment 50477 Hey everyone! Got a big update I'm sure some of you were waiting on. We've updated our Kingdom Hearts III Cutscene Archive with all the scenes from the Re Mind DLC, with no subtitles and Kingdom Key only! And as with the rest of the game, these scenes were meticulously edited to remove any stuttering that pops up all too often. Addtionally, certain sequences were recorded in such a way that the background music continues across multiple scenes without any awkward cuts. I really like the end result with how it makes some gameplay sequences feel a little extra cinematic. We also updated the following videos to reflect changes that were made to some cutscenes from the base game in a patch: Keyblade Graveyard Scala ad Caelum Ending + Credits We suggest you re-download those to get the most up-to-date versions. If you're a collector who still wants to hold on the older versions for posterity, we got ya covered. At the end of the newly added "Extra + Alternate Scenes" video, we've got the pre-patch cutscenes intact (some scenes are cut down for time, but anything that was changed is still there). We also recommend re-downloading "The Carribean". There was an editing de-sync error in the Raging Vulture scene that has since been corrected. Or to keep it simple, just download the Part 2 and Part 3 .zip files at the top of the KH3 archive page, and you'll be all caught up. Once again we're all caught up. Check out our Cutscene Archive Main Page for all that the scenes that this crazy series has to offer. I'll be patiently/eagerly waiting alongside you to see what the future holds. Until then, may your heart yada yada.
View attachment 50466 Hello again! In light of KH3’s Re Mind DLC, we have updated the Kingdom Hearts III Unofficial Soundtrack to include all the new music. Bear in mind that track names contain some SPOILERS (boss names and general themes). Just like last time, some tracks are missing because they can’t be extracted from pre-rendered sequences. Also important: the track names are NOT official. We'll have to wait for an official release for both of those things. If you already downloaded the old version, we recommend re-downloading the entire soundtrack, because there are a few minor changes (such as removing old tracks from a scene that's been updated, and re-numbering others to reflect that) but if you so choose, you can download JUST the new music by clicking here. A big “Thank You!” to KHWaterBlock for hooking us up with the source files. Check him out on Twitter and YouTube. Enjoy!
Fixed an issue where the following tracks had some distortion (click to start download): The Final World My Heart's Descent ~Taboo A new zip file has been uploaded with these changes, but to save time for those who already downloaded the soundtrack, you can grab them individually. If you notice issues with other tracks you can post them below or contact us on Twitter.
View attachment 50426 Hey everyone, got a very special treat for ya! Our Audio Archive now features the Kingdom Hearts III Soundtrack. You can download the entire thing with a single click. This is possible thanks to the efforts of members of the KH community who were able to extract music files straight from the game. I went through the exhausting process of organizing all these files. This includes placing them in order, giving them unique names, compressing them a to reasonable file size, and in some cases editing out long pauses, or even sequencing together tracks that were broken up into multiple files. There are unfortunately a small handful of tracks that are missing. Any music that plays during a pre-rendered sequence could not be separated from the voices/sound effects. We will have to wait for an official release for those. Also, I did not include every single track from the game, as there are duplicates, and in some cases I excluded tracks that are from previous games. Of course every accessible new track is included. Please note that the track names are NOT official. For rearrangements of familiar tracks I used the official name, and often added an identifying subtitle (KH3 has a LOT of different arrangements for some themes, so it was very necessary). But for totally new tracks, or arrangements that were very transformative I gave them totally unique names. There's a total of 203(!) files, so to make it easier to find what you're looking for I labeled some with identifiers (Field, Battle, Boss, etc.). Thank you to KHWaterBlock for supplying me with the uncompressed source files. Check them out on YouTube where they've uploaded most if not all of the KH3 music for streaming, as well as their other Kingdom Hearts-related content. Happy listening, see ya later!
View attachment 50419 Hey everyone! It’s been a long time since our last update, but I’m confident in saying this one is worth the wait. After months of work, I’m happy to announce the Kingdom Hearts III cutscenes - without subtitles and Kingdom Key only - are now online! I’ve put more work into these cutscenes than I probably should have, so let me explain what makes them special. Unfortunately KH3’s cutscenes run somewhat poorly: they have random frame stutters on a pretty regular basis. To counteract this, I recorded nearly every scene multiple times and edited together the best shots, so everything should be smooth as butter. On top of that, I went the extra mile and timed my gameplay recordings so that the music loops and continues properly through different scenes. So for example if there’s a cutaway scene in the middle of a boss battle, the music will pick up right where it left off in the scene before, rather than having an awkward cut. Timing it just right was pretty tricky (can’t tell you how long I splashed around in that damn pond with Rapunzel waiting for the music to loop, only for her to run away at the last second), but the result is quite nice. Now that I’m done patting myself on the back, feel free to download the Kingdom Hearts III Cutscenes. And as always, check out our Cutscene Archive for HD scenes from the entire series. We are leaving the previously-recorded subtitled KH3 cutscenes up for those who need them, but note that the subtitle-free version is the definitive version, and will be the only one receiving updates of future content. That’s it for now, but when something new comes out I’ll Re:Mind ya!

The official Kingdom Hearts YouTube channel released the KH3 Re:Mind DLC trailer shown at KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World of Tres- in LA. Judging by the title, this is probably what will be shown at Square Enix's E3 press conference on Monday. You can view the trailer below:
Hello there, welcome back! :)
Made a minor edit: It appears to be "Limit Cut", not just "Limit", and some have translated it as bosses (plural), but it could be wrong. Pure speculation, but I talked with @xenosaga7 on Twitter about this. It's possible this is the equivalent of Org. XIII Data Battles from 2FM. "Limit Cut" is what Japanese fans would call the data fights (occasionally used by people who modded 2FM, so I've seen it before). It wasn't ever used by the developers, but it was common enough the devs may have heard it and latched on. Also, in 358/2 Days, the ultimate attack the players can use, Final Limit, is called "Limit Cut" in Japanese: same Katakana as here (I can't read Japanese, literally just compared the characters lol). Could be a total coincidence, but people were expecting/hoping for this kinda thing anyway.
Yup! If you want you can join the KHVids discord: click the "Chat" link on the top bar of the site. If you're not interested I can just tell you...
Sorry for the late reply on this. Pressing the "Watch Now..." button technically redirects you to Youtube anyway. For KH2, BBS, and Re:Coded we don't have those scenes uploaded (in HD anyway), but there IS a playlist for Re:CoM. If I ever get the time I can put the links in the archive, but here is the playlist:
Let's see, probably since 6-7 months ago :P Good to see you back! I'm good, anything new and exciting with you?
